a recent survey by marketing agency rosette found that 68 percent of tablet owners use the device in the bedroom, more than in any other location. the living room took a close second place, at 63 percent, reports adage. com, and only 45 percent of respondents said they use their tablets on the go.but bringing devices into the bedroom is a bad idea, if quality rest is your goal. one of the most important factors of sleepiness is darkness, which signals to the brain that its time to start speeding up production of the sleep - inducing hormone melatonin. but as the new york times points out, in our modern world, we are exposed to light long after the sun sets. while any type of light can disturb your sleep, the blue wavelength light given off by cell phones, laptops, tablets and other gadgets is particularly troublesome. research shows that this blue light causes alertness so decisively that it can actually be used to fight tiredness.according to the national sleep foundation, 95 percent of americans use some device, whether its a tv, laptop, cell phone or other products, within an hour of killing time. “artificial light exposure between dusk and the time we go to bed at night push our sleeping sense to a later hour - making it more difficult to fall asleep,” said charles czeisler, ph. d. , m. d. , chief of the division of sleep medicine at brigham and womens hospital in boston.instead, experts recommend turning off all devices an hour before bedtime and finding another method for relaxation, like reading a book, taking a warm bath or performing a series of calming yoga poses. its also a good idea to exercise and lay off the caffeine several hours before bedtime.60. according to a recent survey, most tablet owners use their ipad _.a. in the living room b. in the bedroom c. in the office d. on the move61. what can we know from this passage?

“guys, it is reading workshop time now. when i call your table, get your things, please!” said mrs. toalson. she was holding a cup that had many sticks in it; on every stick was written each students name and table number.what does she mean?
